Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette is a wildly theatrical, darkly comic portrait of a queen trapped inside a crumbling monarchy. As revolution brews outside the palace walls, Marie Antoinette clings to luxury, performance, and fantasy while the world around her spirals toward collapse. Blending modern language, biting satire, and punk sensibility, David Adjmi reimagines the infamous monarch as both absurd spectacle and deeply human figure in a provocative exploration of power, celebrity, excess, and denial.
